Exotic in the sense that pretty much all gear that is polling 1000Hz nowadays is gaming gear. I never implied it was unattainable - I have a 240Hz monitor, G903, and still use the ps/2 port and the games. However I wouldn't doubt the fact that my 240Hz monitor is exotic.

As for touch screen technology, the Apple Pro Pen I believe is only 20ms and is state of the art. While I do believe that developer ux has contributed to lazy resource management, it's also clear that sub-60hz latency has regularly required exotic hardware.

It's still "generic USB". When we're talking about the difficulty of it, it's entirely fair to pull in a $30 keyboard.

Touch is hard to keep ultra fast. But with physical buttons it's mostly apathy.
